Workplace drug testing. We were informed that we would have to submit to yearly hair drug tests if at some point we "might" use powered industrial fork trucks. As I am employed at a Union factory (on staff) they decided I "might" have to use a truck if the union employees went out on strike.

Here is where the fourth amendment violation comes in. The company receives a 5% discount on its workers compensation premiums from the STATE if it implements the program. In my opinion that makes it a violation of the fourth amendment which states-


"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

If a government encourages a search without probable cause is it not in violation of a citizens rights? Any opinions?
